I hope for some b-sides. Though we'll probably get some live songs/acoustics if any. :rolleyes:

- The Escapist + Strawberry Swing 3 - Life In Technicolour 16 - Cemeteries of London 8 - Lost! 14 - 42 10 - Lovers In Japan 5 - Reign Of Love 13 - Yes 9 - Chinese Sleep Chant 10 - Viva La Vida 9 - Violet Hill 12 - Strawberry Swing 12 - Death And All His Friends 8 - The Escapist

Now that we've all heard the album, what songs do you think would be likely singles? There are 2 singles left assuming they stick to the 4 single routine, though a 5th one may be in limited release in some countries. Right now I'm pretty doubtful that 42 will be released. Lovers in Japan is probably next, and they'll probably release Death and All His Friends afterwards since it's been on Grey Anatomy and such. So far we know 1. Violet Hill 2. Viva la Vida 3. Lovers In Japan (maybe) 4. ???

You're absolutely right, just because it's the bands highest ever charting song in the US as well as all the promo CDs being sent around pretty much confirms that Viva la Vida will definately never be a single, right?

:laugh3: True. I have total respect for those who love Parachutes and loathe X&Y, they're both two different stages of Coldplay. I seem to have a habit of going against the crowd, one of my favourite Radiohead albums is Hail To The Thief, and my favourite Gomez album is Split The Difference for instance.

Life In Technicolor - 7 Cemeteries Of London - 9 Lost? - 7 42 - 6 Lovers In Japan - 8 Reign Of Love - 7 Yes - 9 Chinese Sleep Chant - 9 Viva la Vida - 8 Violet Hill - 9 Strawberry Swing - 9 Death And All His Friends - 8 The Escapist - 6 Overall, X&Y is still my favourite, AROBTTH is still my second favourite and Parachutes is still my least favourite. Having said that, it's still a bloody brilliant album anyhow! I'm thinking of doing a proper review later on.

Unfortunately, this album hasnt affected my ranking of Coldplay albums as much as I hoped it would. 1. X&Y 2. AROBTTH 3. VLVODAAHF 5. Parachutes

The guy who leaked it only leaked the songs we havent heard yet, so the version of Life In Technicolor is exactly the same as the one we already have (the crappy video rip) which I for one am very peeved about.

Surprisingly, I'm not digging 42 and I'm kinda glad it wasnt a single now. My top 5 in no order so far (without having heard the album that much) would have to be Violet Hill Cemeteries Of London Chinese Sleep Chant Yes Strawberry Swing I think...

Hm... I really like this album but X&Y still remains me fav which is slightly disappointing really but I guess you cant beat a really good album like that. This album could be my 2nd favourite, I think it's tied with AROBTTH at the moment. I may have to listen to AROBTTH again to decide.

You're quite right, they're not. The version of Viva La Vida is off iTunes. The version of Violet Hill is off coldplay.com The version of Life In Technicolor is ripped from that video. None are album versions. Plus, in the torrent I downloaded, the above 3 were in MP3 format, the others were in WMA.

Today was a wierd experience for me. For the majority of the day I was severly depressed to the point it was making me physically sick. It was only in the last lesson of the day where I caught my friend looking at Wikipedia as everything else at school was blocked, and he was looking up 42. He asked if there was a song called 42 and I told him to look up Viva la Vida or Death And All His Friends if he didn't believe me. That's where I noticed that it said the album leaked. So I rushed home and immediatley downloaded it where I've been listening to it on constant repeat for the last 5 hours. Turned my entire day on it's head! Thankyou Coldplay!

You are a legend! I'm in a real hurry right now and it's not a good time for discovering new Coldplay songs!

I don't care, post it!

'tis Chinese Sleep Chant and it sounds like it's gonna be a definate favourite of mine on the album! :D I'm so glad they finally decided to keep it on!

Both! Both! Both! Audio first though.

Took a while to load but I'm listening to Chinese Sleep Chant now. Wow! :shocked2:

Thanks! Rip anyone?

Shweet. How can I access it? Not really fluent in German. Edit, ah figured it out. The video wasnt working for me.

As far as I know.

The full and proper title is Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends. The short title (abrev if you will) is just Viva La Vida I'm 100% sure that the version of DAAHF that we've heard was edited to fit around the show, and there's a lot missing. Post 600 :dance:

So much happening... OVERLOAD! OVERLOAD!

I'll listen the minute it becomes availible to me, whenever or wherever that may be.

Great find! Thanks! Should give us a hint of the songs sound, and that just sounds crazy doesnt it?

9 days? I want to be excited but I want LP5 now! Damn you Chris!
